Want To Adopt 'Zeke'? Call Southington Animal Control
'Zeke,' a German shepherd was found roaming the streets of Southington Nov. 30.
SOUTHINGTON, CT — A German shepherd found by the town wandering the streets of Southington now has a name, but sadly he doesn't have an owner.
As a result, the Town of Southington's animal control department is putting "Zeke" up for adoption as enough time has lapsed between being found and someone not claiming him.
According to the department's Facebook page, no one claimed the cute dog, but whoever chooses to adopt him should probably have experience with the breed.
